Vampire Diaries Giveaway: Support TBDA, Win Cast-Signed Posters!

The actress is closely involved with the Tick-Borne Disease Alliance (TBDA), an organization that brings awareness to Lyme Disease and other Tick-Borne diseases and educates the public on how to protect oneself against these infections.

On Sunday, October 28th, the TBDA will sponsor a Virtual Walk (online on Twitter and Facebook) to raise awareness and money to help eradicate Lyme and other Tick-Borne diseases. TBDA will be actively fundraising all month, with the goal of beating last year with $30,000 in donations.

Can't you do something that doesn't involve Twitter for once?!?! I don't have a Twitter account and I don't plan on getting one!!

You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger... I want you to get everything you're looking for. But for right now, I want you to forget that this happened. Can't have people knowing I'm in town yet. Goodnight, Elena.

Damon: You know what they are? Children. Like lighting a candle's going to make everything OK, or even saying a prayer. Or pretending Elena's not going to end up just like the rest of us murdering vampires. Stupid, delusional, exasperating little children. And I know what you're going to say: 'It makes them feel better, Damon.' So what? For how long? A minute, a day? What difference does it make? Because in the end, when you lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing you have left is hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be. And a rock with a birthday carved into it that I'm pretty sure is wrong. So thanks, friend. Thanks for leaving me here to babysit. Because I should be long gone by now. I didn't get the girl, remember? I'm just stuck here fighting my brother and taking care of the kids. You owe me big.Alaric: I miss you too, buddy.
